Figure 3. SEM images of latex and rubber degradation performed by fungi.

Latex (A and D) and rubber (B, C, E, and F) were used as the sole carbon source in the selective media. A, B and C show non-inoculated control media, whereas 15-day-old cultures of isolates F9 and F1 are shown in subfigures D and E–F, respectively. A, C, D and F scale bars = 50 µm; B, E scale bars = 500 µm.
